If you have been staring at the same old bedroom for a while now, here are some simple but clever ways you can refresh your sanctuary, so that you can wake up to a bedroom that reinvigorates you.
A bedroom is a sacred place, where we start and end most of our days. Hence, it is important that your bedroom is a space that allows you to restore your souls and calibrate your minds for the next day with renewed optimism.

1. Re-position your bed (and everything else)
Relocating your bed, and everything in between, can change your perspective and breathe more life into your room. Not only does rearranging your bedroom give you a sense of renewal, you can also rid your bedroom of unnecessary junk.
2. Clear the clutter
Your room will look a mess if you have things sprawled all over it. And as they say, a cluttered room is the sign of a cluttered mind. A helpful tip is to leave only things that you use regularly in easily accessible places, and hiding everything else from view. This way, it is easier to keep your room neat and tidy and free from clutter!
3. Create a feature wall using artwork
You may not be a big fan of art yourself, however, getting a few pieces of art to hang up on wall classes up your room and covers up any awkward bare spots on your wall. It need not be something you understand but it should be something you find aesthetically pleasing and that reflects the overall mood of your room.
4. Get a rug
Having big empty areas on the floor of your room can make it feel empty and unwelcoming. An area rug is an easy way to cover up those bare spots in your room. Other practical benefits include covering up defects in your floor and also providing warm and cozy spot for special guests.
5. Improve the lighting in your bedroom
Alternative light sources like lamps can light up your room differently, giving your room an alternative glow and different moods at different times in the day. Warm lights are great for bedrooms to give your room that cozy feel that you may be looking for.
6. Add a mirror to your bedroom design
Having mirrors is a great way to check yourself out before you head out for work. Also, having a mirror strategically placed can make your room appear larger by stretching the physical space of the room outside of its bounds. It can also help to reflect lights as an alternate light source to your room.
7. Add more pillows
Pillows are highly inviting. Functionally, we really only need one. However, smothering your bed in pillows can give your bed a snug and inviting feeling as you tuck yourself in for the night. Choose assorted pillows and covers that go well with the theme and mood of your room.
8. Add more greenery to your bedroom design
And preferably, live ones. Plants purify the air in your room organically and make the room fresher when you step in after a long day at work. Even if you do not wish to have to maintain a live one, a synthetic plant can still help to make your room look more lively.
It is easy to breathe new life into your room, to help you feel re-inspired and reinvigorated every day. Follow these steps and you’d be surprised at how much your quality of sleep and life is improved!
